Rendez-vous avec X. CAMEMBERT – De l’art de l’infographie vide de sens. Le blog de Laurent Delmas. MoRUS: A Museum for Urban Space (NY)
A city plagued by bankruptcy and violence, between 1970 and 1980 New York lost one million people—10% of its population.

The result was an abundance of empty space. Along with decreased police resources, squatters were able to make a foothold in the city’s most blighted neighborhoods, opening up abandoned buildings and converting them into collective houses and community spaces and turning abandoned lots into gardens. At the time, the Lower East Side (LES) of Manhattan was considered the center of the movement, but if you ask an average seasoned New Yorker about squatting on the Lower East Side, they would likely tell you that those days are history—the stuff of museums. And they would be partially right. In the next thirty years a million people moved back, plus about another three hundred thousand. The remaining squatters don’t really see it that way. If you’re imaging a display case of grungy mannequins huddled around a wood-burning stove, think again. MoRUS Slideshow. Du graffiti de lumière avec de l’eau. Du voyeurisme à travers les fenêtres de New York.

Watching the city go by from an elevated or even ground-level rail system can be relaxing, but the transition to an underground section is at best boring, at worst jarring. Here to lighten the mood a bit during the duller parts of your nighttime or subterranean transit is a quirky little device designed to attach to the outer shell of a passenger train. It was created by Frédéric Eyl for a Digital Media course at the University of the Arts in Berlin.

Suddenly there is a school of fish struggling to keep up, an under-earth ecosystem, or some other speed-appropriate scene to liven your day. From the artist: “Parasite is an independant projection-system that can be attached to subways and other trains with suction pads.
